Lord, save me from my sins

by Molly Pathrose

Save me from my past sins, that the habit of them may not hold me captive. Save me from my constitutional sins, that I may not be the slave of my own weaknesses. Save me from the sins which are continually under my eye that I may not lose my horror of them. Save me from secret sins; sins unperceived by me from my want of light. Save me from sudden and surprising sins: let me not be carried off my feet by a rush of
temptation. Save me, Lord, from every sin. Let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

You alone can do this. I cannot snap my own chains or slay my own enemies. Thou knowest temptation, for Thou wast tempted. Thou knowest sin, for Thou didst bear the weight of it. Thou knowest how to succor me in my hour of conflict; You can save me from sinning and save me when I have sinned. Save me unto holiness of life, that the name of Jesus may be glorified in me abundantly.
